BRENNAN FAMILY | OREGON COAST

I’ve been a photographer for over ten years and am very well-versed in sunset sessions – yet, surprisingly, I have never, not once, photographed a sunrise session.

Partly to blame, I’m sure, is that I despise getting up before sunrise, but it was high time that I photographed in the morning hours! I set my alarm for 4 am, and after grabbing some coffee, we were on our way to an enchanting location encapsulated by the morning fog of the Oregon Coast.

Our model for the session was Jordan Brennan – a beautiful, energetic, hilarious, and incredibly talented fellow photographer (and rightfully dubbed “master of maternity“) and her sweet baby, husband, and dog.

Jordan’s confidence and relaxed demeanor in front of the camera made it effortless to get the photos we needed, strolling around the dunes, hand in hand with her husband, baby in arm, and followed by the most laid-back dog, entirely ignoring the crowd of photographers to blissfully dig holes in the sand.
